Is it really possible for an enemy to pull off a sustained invasion of the United States? The answer might surprise you - but it shouldn't. Action from a stance of ignorance or indifference is not permissible for the U.S. Militia. It is imperative to understand the geographic strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. when facing attack by an invading adversary. These realities change little over time, and are at the core of overall planning.
Stupid, ineffectual, and compromised leadership has led to the misuse of our military around the world. Our policies and diplomacy have been in the hands of those willing to serve foreign interests, above and against our own. This has led to confusion and mistrust, and increasing alienation of those nations who could have been our allies. Now, we face a situation even more tense and dangerous, than out nation endured through the crisis of 1962.
In a nation valuing the freedom and rights of the individual, individual knowledge and responsibility is a must. Know the basics of defending the unique American terrain, and how you can put this knowledge to good use in either a "Red Dawn I" or "Red Dawn II" scenario.

A recent discovery of banned Japanese foods being sold in Taiwan is causing considerable concern about the actual safety of the food supply. This comes only weeks after contaminated Japanese tea was reported as being found in Hong Kong.
Taiwan has fairly rigorous food safety standards. In 2011 Taiwan banned the sale of all foods from Fukushima and four other prefectures . That ban is still in place today. On top of the ban of all products from the five prefectures, Taiwan also has restrictions on other foods from anywhere in Japan:
"It has also subjected nine categories of food products from other parts of Japan to batch-by-batch border inspections - fresh vegetables and fruits; frozen vegetables and fruits; fresh aquatic products; frozen aquatic products; baby formula; dairy products; seaweed; tea leaves; and drinking water."
A total of 300 food items were found on sale in Taiwan with falsified origin food labels. Investigators found an additional 3000 mislabeled products at the port of Keelung. Local health officials have seized some of the food products but many were already sold to customers. Government officials told the companies found to be in violation to contact all retailers and to instruct them to pull all suspect products off the shelves within a week. The head of Taiwan's health agency said the products were likely mislabeled in Japan and not done by Taiwanese importers but the agency is conducting a full investigation to make sure.
Health officials in New Taipei City found that the Sheng Yu company had been importing Japanese soy sauce with labels claiming it came from Tokyo when in actuality it came from banned prefectures such as Chiba, Gunma, Fukushima, Ibaraki or Tochigi. Another source claims the mislabeled soy sauce is Kikkoman brand. The incident included a number of popular Japanese food products including
Kirin's Afternoon Tea Straight Tea, Milk Tea and Lemon Tea beverages,
Nissin Food Products Co's cup noodles
Morinaga's six cookie and sweet products.
NewsMarket Taiwan also identified a Nestle green tea product
Of the 294 products specifically tested the breakdown of actual location was this:
108 of the products were produced in Gunma
74 were from Ibaraki
48 from Chiba
45 from Tochigi
19 from Fukushima
193 of those were found to contain no radiation by Taiwan's Atomic Energy Council. This would indicate that 101 were contaminated. The level of contamination in the products was not readily available.
At least four import companies were involved in the main investigation with the food products being distributed to a number of prominent retailers in Taiwan. A total of 10 companies are said to be involved in the mislabeling problem. Taipei Times considers 12 companies to be involved.
At the same time that this story broke, Taiwan's minister of health admitted that the agency had been considering the idea of removing some of the food import restrictions on Japan. The Japanese government had been putting continual pressure on Taiwan to ease their food restrictions and the minister felt obligated to at least consider the change request. Others in the government pointed out that China has much more strict restrictions on Japanese foods after Fukushima.
"China has not only banned all food imported from 10 high-risk Japanese prefectures, but also demanded a radiation detection report and a government-issued place of origin for food items from other areas of the country."
Currently Taiwan is not mandating that importers provide a proof of origin certificates or any proof of radiation testing from the Japanese government. Critics have said that this needs to be implemented to assure things like what was found or worse do not happen. Legislators pointed out that Japan has been providing these kinds of proofs of origin to China but not to Taiwan. South Korea has been even more stringent with 13 prefectures totally banned and sea products from 16 prefectures banned . They also require origin and testing certificates for import.
There have also been calls by legislators for sanctioning the companies involved or a wide scale boycott of all Japanese food s. Citizen groups are also calling for much more strict import and testing processes to be put in place on all Japanese food products. Taiwan's Homemaker's Union demanded that the government require food origin and radiation testing proof for Japanese imports. They further requested that radiation tests be made public and updated daily. The head of the Environmental Defense Fund insisted that retailers must step up to do their own radiation checks and confirmation that origin claims are accurate.
Officials in Hong Kong admitted their oversight is less stringent than Taiwan's and that they do not have any outright food bans on specific Japanese foods and have instead relied on spot testing products. Hong Kong has only found a few items over their government set radiation limits of those that were spot tested. They do have a fairly strict penalty for food mislabeling like what was found in Taiwan. A $100,000 USD fine and up to a year in prison could be given to anyone found purposely mislabeling foods to get around government rules. The falsified labels found in the case in Taiwan included new labels that claimed products were produced in Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe or Okayama prefectures, all places assumed to have relatively safe foods.
Over-labeling is a common practice for exporting or importing foods. Labels in familiar languages are put over the original origin or ingredient labels on imported products so consumers can more easily read the key information about the food item. These kinds of over-labels are frequently found on imported foods in some Asian stores in the US rather than requiring completely new packaging be used for every country, even on small volume food products.
This scandal so far showed the holes in the food import-export system, specifically the holes in the system in Japan. Where countries have lax import standards the potential for contaminated products is much higher. US officials have repeatedly dismissed concern claiming the high US intervention levels mean they do not need to conduct any meaningful oversight and instead, by default left US food safety up to Japan's exporters who have shown they apparently can not be trusted. One of the major flaws of the US stance has been that the intervention level is not a promise of actual safety or no harm but the level where they would pull food off the market if they happened to find it at that level. Like mercury, consumption of man made radioactive contamination even in small amounts can contribute to one's total health status and should be avoided whenever possible.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=147_1427464782omniradarBanned Japanese Fukushima Foods Mislabeled, Sold In TaiwanF,UK,US,hima, Fukushima, 3 Core Meltdowns, MSM Shtum, General ElectricRussia and China: Watch Out Moody's, Here We Come!Mon, 30 Mar 2015 03:46:01 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=237_1427699053

MOODY'S ANALYST BREAKS SILENCE: Says Ratings Agency Rotten To Core
A former senior analyst at Moody's has gone public with his story of how one of the country's most important rating agencies is corrupted to the core.
The analyst, William J. Harrington, worked for Moody's for 11 years, from 1999 until his resignation last year.
From 2006 to 2010, Harrington was a Senior Vice President in the derivative products group
Corrupted credit ratings: Standard &amp; Poor's lawsuit and the evidence
Eric Kolchinsky, Moody's Whistleblower
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past approximate quarter century of so-called economic globalization, Wall Street's ability to be the home of the only dominant "global" rating agencies to bestow ratings on the credit-worthiness of the world has been one of the most effective weapons of financial warfare in the Wall Street arsenal. They rate nations as well as private corporations. Now an answer to the Moody's-Standard &amp; Poors-Fitch US rating monopoly is coming. Not from the EU, where it is long overdue. It is coming from Russia and China, as so many bold and challenging initiatives of late.
Today, despite repeated financial crises where the New York Big Three credit rating agencies either failed or acted with clear political bias to rate, a virtual global monopoly is held by Moody's, Standard &amp; Poor's and Fitch Ratings. The 'Big Three' as they are called, issued 98% of all credit ratings in the United States and roughly 95% worldwide. That's influence, brother.
The system that the most important banks of Wall Street developed after 1944 to make New York the world financial center and the dollar its reserve currency had several well-conceived facets to it. After 1945 it was the fact that the US Federal Reserve held some 70% of the world's monetary gold so that the dollar was then "as good as gold." The nations of defeated Europe scrambled to get every possible dollar to buy American machinery and goods for postwar reconstruction. The Marshall Plan was explicitly drafted to use US taxpayer dollars to extend loans to the recovering European economies, almost $12 billion in the period 1948-1951 that was used to buy essential goods like US wheat and Rockefeller American oil and to buy US machine tools, back when America was world leader in machine tools, to reconstruct factories and housing.
The Dollar System that I describe in detail in my book, Gods of Money: Wall Street and the Death of the American Century (Der Untergang des Dollar-Imperiums), has been at the center of the power of the Wall Street Money Trust (as it once was correctly named) and the American oligarchs ever since they created the Bretton Woods Treaty in 1944.
After the defeat of Germany and the Axis powers in 1945, the families who controlled the banks of Wall Street and of Lower Manhattan-Chase Bank, Citibank, or Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch-built a de facto empire in which, according to the rules they imposed on a defeated world, including a bankrupt Britain, would be based on the supremacy of the US dollar in the world.
In 1945 it was easy to get a defeated Europe to agree to Bretton Woods Gold Exchange Standard in which all currencies would be fixed to the US dollar and the dollar alone fixed to gold at $35 an ounce, where it remained until the system collapsed in August 1971 and Nixon abandoned gold-dollar convertibility. By then Europe was booming with modern reconstructed industry and the USA was becoming a rustbelt . France and Germany demanded US gold bullion instead of inflated dollars, and US gold reserves were vanishing.
After 1971, the dollar flooded the world unfettered by gold reserve requirements and US military might during the Cold War forced Japan, Western Europe and others including OPEC to accept constantly inflating paper US dollars.
From 1970 until about 2000 the volume of dollars in the world had risen some 2,900%. Because the dollar was the world "reserve currency" needed by all for trade in oil, goods, grains, the world was forced to swallow a de facto mammoth inflation after 1971.
A Corrupt Rating Monopoly
The established New York credit agencies would play a strategic role in this post-1971 dollar system. During the 1970's the US Government's Securities &amp; Exchange Commission, charged with oversight of bond and stock markets, issued a ruling giving the then-dominant New York credit rating agencies-Moody's and Standard &amp; Poor's (and later Fitch Ratings)-a de facto guaranteed monopoly in an unregulated market, when they ruled that only "Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations" would be qualified to issue appropriate ratings, i.e. only Moody's and S&amp;P. Corruption was made endemic to the US ratings game and Washington was party to the dirty deal .
By the end of the 1970's, using the vast amount of OPEC "petro-dollars" from the two oil price shocks in 1973 and 1979, New York international banks, using London, began to loan to the rest of the world to finance imports of oil and other essentials. The New York credit rating agencies, previously primarily rating US corporate bonds, expanded into the new foreign debt markets as the largest and only established rating agencies in the new phase of dollarization and globalization of capital markets. They set up branches in Germany, France, Japan, Mexico, Argentina and other emerging markets much like the US Big Five accounting firms.
During the 1980s the rating agencies played a key role in down-rating the debt of the Latin American debtor countries such as Mexico and Argentina. Their ratings determined if the debtor countries could borrow or not. Financial market insiders in London and New York openly spoke of the "political" rating agencies using their de facto monopoly to advance the agenda of Wall Street and the Dollar System behind it.
Then in the 1990's, the New York rating agencies played a decisive role in spreading the "Asia Crisis" of 1997-98. With the precise timing of its downgrades they could worsen the panic because they had been suspiciously silent right up until the first sign of crisis. The result was that the then-Asian "Tiger" economies of Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia for the first time were forced to submit to destructive IMF conditions, whose ultimate result was a massive export of capital from Asia into the US dollar bonds that created the "Clinton" prosperity. Before the 1997-98 Asia Crisis, dollars were flooding into the Tiger economies to invest. After it, some $200 billion a year according to a Bank for International Settlements estimate, flowed in the reverse direction into US Treasury bonds, pushing US interest rates way down and feeding the dot.com stock bubble.
Curiously, when it came to its own backyard, such as with rating the Texas energy giant Enron in 2001, the largest postwar US corporate bankruptcy, the rating agencies were strangely blind. They gave Enron best ratings right up to the last minute. Moody's and friends did the same with their ratings of "sub-prime" US real estate bonds-so-called Mortgage-backed securities in the first seven years of the new century. They gave out the highest AAA ratings right up to the outbreak of the panic in March 2007. They did so even though signs of crisis were everywhere in what was a brazen conflict of interest, as the Wall Street mortgage bond issuers themselves, under the bizarre rules of the US rating game, paid the raters to rate them. The rating agencies were earning a new windfall in profits by rating the new asset-backed securities and had no interest in "taking away the punchbowl just when the party was really getting hot." Nor did Alan Greenspan at the Fed for that matter .
Notably, until the present, the Big Three US rating agencies have been virtually unregulated. They need not fear legal action for their ratings, even if politically biased, since the US Supreme Court ruled that ratings were simply an expression of the agencies' informed opinions, protected as "free speech" under the First Amendment . Only in 2006 was even a pretense of legislation, the deceptively-named Credit Rating Agencies Reform Act of 2006, passed by Congress and had no visible effect deterring the rating agencies. The reform was purely cosmetic to convince the electorate that the Wall Street-owned Congress was doing something to prevent a repeat of the crisis .
In the Greek sovereign debt crisis, just as EU governments were about to finalize a deal to stabilize the Greek government's bond debt, in April 2010 Standard &amp; Poor's (S&amp;P), suddenly downgraded Greek state debt by three full levels to "junk" rating, which forced most pension funds around the world to liquidate the bonds, sending Greek interest rates to more than 10% . That rating act created the Euro crisis. It also saved the falling US dollar, the heart of the Wall Street-US Treasury-Federal Reserve Dollar System.
EU Rating Failure
The blatant political timing of that April 2010 S&amp;P Greek downgrade convinced many EU governments of the urgent need for a truly independent European Rating Agency. Notable is the inability of the EU to act on that and some seven years after the outbreak of the financial crisis of 2007-8. The EU has done nothing to defend its own sovereign interests by having an independent credit rating authority. In April, 2012 the attempt to devise a European credit rating entity that, unlike the US model would not be financed by the governments or companies receiving the ratings, died for lack of support and due to subtle pressure from Washington by informed accounts. Washington and Wall Street don't easily give up such strategic monopolies.
The Raters Threaten Russia
Now the US is trying to use the rating agencies to drive Putin's Russia to the precipice of sovereign default.
On the eve of Christmas, December 23, 2014 when most of the world was decorating their Christmas tree or buying gifts, Standard &amp; Poor's, the same rater that triggered the April 2010 Greek crisis, announced there was "at least a 50 percent chance" that Russia will be lowered to junk within 90 days. S&amp;P will issue its rating at end of January they say. On January 12, Fitch, the smallest of the Big Three US raters joined S&amp;P with the same downgrade one notch above junk . Moody's Investors Service ranked Russia one step higher than S&amp;P and Fitch. In April, as Washington's US Treasury financial warfare against Russia began, S&amp;P lowered the Russian sovereign debt rating one level in April to BBB-. In short, the New York rating cartel holds a Sword of Damocles over Russia .
Junk rating would force most international pension funds and investment institutes to dump Russian state bonds just as in the Ruble default crisis of 1998, a crisis where US hedge fund billionaire, George Soros played a key nasty role and reportedly made a killing.
Notably, the same Soros today is shouting from the roof tops and in OpEd articles in the major financial media that EU and US and other governments must urgently come to the rescue of Ukraine and not allow a default that would hurt private Ukraine bondholders.
Market rumors are that Soros opportunistically bought a huge amount of cheap Ukrainian bonds, confident that the EU would come to the rescue. They haven't. Now the old fox shows signs of panic. On January 13 he went to Kiev to meet Ukrainian billionaire President Petro Poroshenko. In Kiev Soros stated, "Ukraine is struggling to protect not only itself, but also Europe (sic!). Thus, Europe should help Ukraine implement reforms necessary for the country."
EU Commission President Juncker triggered Soros' panic on December 17 when he announced no new EU money to bail out Ukraine was forthcoming for at least the next two years . The EU had other fish to fry, he said.
Russia and China Act
Vladimir Putin and China's Xi have agreed to create their own international credit rating agency and it plans to open for business this year, 2015.
The Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG) plans to begin official independent ratings in 2015 to challenge the Moody's, S&amp;P and Fitch ratings monopoly, according to RusRating Managing Director, Aleksandr Ovchinnikov.
The new agency will be based in Hong Kong. Interestingly, there is a third equal partner to Russia and China in UCRG. In addition to China's Dagon Credit Rating Agency, Russia's RusRating the US-based independent Egan-Jones Ratings is partner in the new UCRG. Each member will hold an equal share in the venture, with an initial investment of $9 million. In effect, three already well-established national independent rating agencies form the new UCRG joint venture. It is a serious challenge to the New York Big Three monopoly .
Egan-Jones Ratings Company, also known as EJR, founded in 1995 is a very interesting partner for Russia and China raters. It is unique among US nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) for being wholly investor-supported, not client-financed, eliminating the gross conflict of interest of the Big Three. On April 5, 2012, Egan-Jones was the first rater to downgrade the credit ranking of the United States. In addition Egan-Jones was also the first to downgrade WorldCom and Enron .
The UCRG was officially created in June 2013 and has since been finalizing its business structure. Ovchinnikov added that, "When the issue of creating an agency alternative to the 'Big Three' was raised, we in fact offered a project that was ready to be launched and was supported by the governments of Russia and China." He explicitly pointed to the bias of the US Big Three raters to be overly "generous" to US and EU clients while being biased against developing or emerging countries such as the BRICS-Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.
Now with an independent credit rating agency, a $100 billion BRICS Infrastructure Bank and strategic local currency agreements in place, Russia and China, Brics for Brics, are establishing the architecture to a genuine alternative to the IMF and World Bank and the Wall Street dollar system. The year 2015 will indeed by interesting.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=237_1427699053USATerroristStateRussia and China: Watch Out Moody's, Here We Come!Russia, China, Economy, Credit, Rating, Corruption, AlternativeGermany needs 500,000 migrants a year until 2050 - studySat, 28 Mar 2015 13:12:32 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ce8_1427562352
demonizedworldWith the baby boom generation preparing to retire, the scarcity of labor in Germany is likely to become chronic, with half a million immigrants needed annually for 35 years, a study claims, predicting a sharp drop in Germany's workforce.
Within the next 15 years, half of all German workers will become pensioners, the Bertelsmann Institute warns in a study published Friday. Without immigrants, Germany's labor pool is likely to shrink from current its 45 million to 29 million people (or 36 percent) by 2050.
Even if the number of employed women would somehow equal to that of men and the retirement age is prolonged to 70 years, this would only give additional 4.4 million workers. Further digitalization and robotization of production processes could decrease this shortage, however.
Germany's Destatis (Federal Statistics Office) estimates that in 2013 as many as 429,000 immigrants came to the country. In 2014 up to 470,000 people arrived.
Only about 25,000 out of a total of 140,000 non-EU immigrants who arrived in Germany in 2013 came specifically to find a job, with the majority coming either to study or to join their family, the study says. Others came as refugees.
The study claims that the economies of Southern Europe are beginning to exit the crisis, which means that they will need more workers at home while their unemployed are happy to find jobs in Germany.
"Germany can't rely on further high immigration from the EU. We must take the measures now that make Germany an attractive destination for non-EU citizens," said Bertelsmann Institute board member J"org Dr"ager, as quoted by the Local.
The future EU internal migration to Germany is likely to be about 70,000 annually, so most of the workers will have to be imported from outside of the EU, the study suggests.
The instability in the Middle East, for instance, could facilitate the inflow of immigrants to Europe with Germany in the first place as the EU's strongest economy.
Dr"ager believes that Germany needs a new immigration policy, a comprehensible immigration system that would make it clear to the qualified foreigners from outside the EU that they are needed in the country. In the first place, this would mean changing the immigration law to facilitate access to citizenship, and make naturalization programs attractive, such as offering programs to learn the local language, give access to the social security system and offer protection from discrimination.
At the same time, thousands of supporters of the PEGIDA movement in Germany are conducting mass rallies against 'Islamization' of the country.
PEGIDA is a German acronym, which translates as Patriot Europeans Against the Islamization of the West. Its core principle is that it sees the rise of the influence of Islam on European countries as dangerous, while its manifesto opposes extremism and calls for Germany's Judeo-Christian religious culture to be protected.

Truth Wins Out announced the launch today of its "Religious Freedom Farce" campaign, to highlight the real-world consequences of bills that purport to protect religious liberty, when in reality they only promote prejudice. The campaign comes on a week that Texas state senator Donna Campbell introduced a measure, Senate Joint Resolution 10, which would let business owners decline service to LGBT customers if serving them would violate their religious worldview.
"This is bigotry disguised as belief," said Truth Wins Out Executive Director Wayne Besen. "Our ad campaign hopes to dramatize the real-life consequences if these cynical 'religious liberty' bills become law. It will create a slippery slope that harms all minorities. It would return America to its discriminatory past where people were denied public accommodations simply for who they are."
The first ad in our campaign, "Religious Freedom Caf'e," created for Truth Wins Out by Chicago-based performance artist Eric Clements and filmmaker Ben Nissen, takes these "religious freedom" bills to their logical conclusion. It focuses on an African American man who is told to leave a restaurant because serving black people is against the owner's religious beliefs. Truth Wins Out and Bella Improv will team up for follow up ads, which will appear online, with the potential to be broadcast in the future.
Anti-gay organizations realize that they are on the verge of losing their unholy war against LGBT people. There has been a dramatic change in public opinion, with the majority of Americans supporting marriage equality. It seems that each month, the courts are striking down unconstitutional bans on same-sex marriage. The writing is on the wall so religious extremists are trying to rewrite the rules so they can continue to discriminate without consequence.
These homophobic activists are cynically claiming that their religious liberty is being violated unless they can persecute LGBT people in the workplace and deny them basic services -- such as dining at a restaurant or baking a cake for a same-sex wedding.
Although these business owners have opened their doors to the general public, they feel that it violates their conscience if they can't run their operation like a private country club, picking and choosing whom they work with and serve. They firmly believe their narrow worldview exempts them from obeying civil rights laws that were written to ban discrimination.
However, this radical viewpoint creates a dangerous slippery slope that will tear apart the fabric of society. Once we allow conservative Christians to refuse service to gays - it will only be a matter of time before bigots of all stripes decide their beliefs trump the rights of minorities to receive equal access to public accommodations.
If it is legal to deny baking a cake for a gay wedding based on religious conscience, how could it not also be legal for Christian Identity bakers, who believe God made white people superior, to refuse baking cakes for African American weddings? How could it not be legal for a restaurant to refuse hosting bar mitzvahs because Jews don't believe in Jesus? Or, maybe service is refused for unmarried couples that are deemed to be "living in sin."
"When a business is open to the public it is open to everyone," said Truth Wins Out Executive Director Wayne Besen. "Once you violate this core American principle, you are headed in an unfortunate direction."
Truth Wins Out (TWO) is a non-profit organization that works to demolish the very foundation of anti-gay prejudice. Our philosophy is simple: We attack the underpinnings of homophobia by debunking harmful lies, discrediting hateful myths, and countering anti-gay organizations. By chipping away at the underlying ignorance that fuels anti-LGBT attitudes, we can ultimately win our fight for fairness and achieve full equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people worldwide.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=573_1427515291dcmfoxReligious Freedom Cafe - Indiana Style!religious, cafe, indiana styleWhy Modern Leftists Are Fascists: ROKFri, 27 Mar 2015 21:39:21 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=322_1427506240

Fascist movements are implicitly utopian because they- like communist and heretical Christian movements- assume that with just the right arrangement of policies, all contradictions can be rectified. This is a political siren song; life can never be made perfect, because man is imperfect. (Goldberg 130)
Far too often socialism and communism are compared to what is currently the political embodiment of the modern leftist ideology in the U.S. These leftist and communist ideas include anti-capitalism, total destruction of the individual in favor of the state, and big government takeover. We have all heard this stereotype.
However, I think there is a far more accurate political ideology floating in the minds of modern leftists, thirsty for revolution to take down "the man" and change the "bourgeois system." I am speaking of fascism.
"What!!" you say as you spit out your soy latte.
"Fascism is reserved only for evil white conservative men who spout evil fascist rhetoric like small government, individualism, self-reliance, capitalism, less dependency on government, traditionalism, and self-responsibility with strong ties to self-sustaining autonomous Christian family units!!!"
Slow down, Che, put down the vegan burger and let me explain...
After peeling back some layers and layers of Orwellian leftist language and indoctrination that fascism is of the evil American Righ, closer examination reveals startling comparisons to the modern American leftist.
Fascism could not be any further from the American conservative ( Classical Liberalism ) at it's heart). Very few realize that fascism by its very nature was an extremely leftist populist movement taking root in Mussolini's Italy and spreading like wild fire throughout Europe.
History of fascism: Fascism was born out of socialism (the prized ideology among the left) and was an evolved state-centric version of socialism which became popular around the early to mid 1900s. It was "new" and full of revolutionary change. Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (a name consisting almost entirely of Socialist revolutionaries) was raised a charismatic Italian Socialist (his Socialist father being a huge influence on him) (Goldberg 31).
After Mussolini incorporated socialism and nationalism within Italy, fascism spread quickly (without much pretense to race that would come later with German Nazism). Fascism would eventually compete with International Socialism for the young revolutionary, the working man, the poor, and the masses in places such as Germany, France, and Italy.
To many individuals, fascism state-centric ideology seemed far more of a "working system" rather than that delusional idea of "uniting the workers of the world", which was the motto of the International Socialist. With fascism, as with all large bloated governments that leftists think can cure all our qualms, the utopian lie is propagated by the state which supposedly aims to build a communal National Socialism state-sponsored family.
Fascism was to transcend class differences exactly like socialism preached. Below are first-hand accounts according to working class Germans and their views on Hitler's Nationalist Socialist ideas:
...Though I was interested in the betterment of the workingman's plight, I rejected Marxism unconditionally. I often asked myself why socialism had to be tied up with internationalism- why it could not work as well or better in conjunction with nationalism'. Another German states 'I shuddered at the thought of Germany in the grip of Bolshevism. The slogan 'Workers of the World Unite!' made no sense to me. At the same time, however, National Socialism with its promise of community...barring all class struggle, attracted me profoundly'. Another German stated they embraced Nazism because of the 'uncompromising will to stamp out the class struggle, snobberies of caste and party hatreds. The movement bore the true message of socialism to the German workingman. (Goldberg 74)
Below are key points from Mussolini and the Fasci di Combattimento (a Fascist organization created by Mussolini) circa 1919 (Goldberg 46):
The abolition of the senate and the creation of a national technical council on intellectual and manual labor, industry, commerce and culture The creation of various government bodies run by worker's representatives The obligation of the state to build "rigidly secular" schools for the raising of "the proletariat's moral and cultural condition" All of this seems like the modern American leftist's wet dream. Modern American leftist rhetoric is far closer to fascism than the American right's strong stress on individualism, capitalism, and reduced government intervention.
Fascism, a party of the left: Fascism stressed huge state governments. This huge fascist government included expanding health services, enforcing anti-elitism, wealth-confiscation, and secularism (Goldberg 46) all in the name of the state and the common good. Fascism offered "anti-bourgeois, anti-capitalistic, and anti-individualist nationalism" (Sternhell 214-220).
The state was always before the individual under fascism; taking from some and redistributing to the many. This is the core of modern American leftist ideology. Many parallels of fascism are closely similar to Obamacare (expanding health services), higher taxes among the elite and wealthy (wealth confiscation), and the most recent; the fascist power grab, by the FCC "Net Neutrality" rules (anti-capitalist).
To illustrate this comparison further, let's look at just a few of the Nazi Party's key points (Goldberg 411):
We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts). We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. I can't tell the difference when the Nazi points end and the American leftist points begin. Not to mention, affirmative action (prized among the left) is just race privilege enforced by government intervention. Affirmative sction is similar to the notorious government enforced Aryan privilege in Nazi Germany regardless of skill.
Historic dangers of the leftIn all leftist extremes, be it communism, Nazism, socialism, or Fascism; murder, violence, and censorship are sure to be the eventual outcome of huge government. It is a historic pattern and if history is cyclical, which I believe it is, we are at the beginning of what will be the eventual violence found among extreme Leftist purity tactics dating back to the French Revolution ( Jacboins ), up through Soviet Russia ( Bolsheviks ), Ukraine , and Communist China .
Nothing has been more devastating and dangerous politically in the 20th century than leftist thought. If we look at 20th century communism alone we come to a whopping 85-100 million worldwide that perished under such leftist regimes, not to mention the censorship, labor camps, violation of civil liberties, and imprisonment.
One should think of fascism not as the complete opposite of socialism and communism, but yet another kindred spirit in extreme leftist political ideologies that were competing for the hearts and minds of the populous. Not much has changed with fascist ideology of collectivism (another prized belief of the left) were individual twigs bundle together to make a strong piece of collective wood.
Allow this article to be a possible warning sign of modern day ideology, as their quest will devolve into a loss of civility and violence as we move farther and farther left. As the left ideologies become more and more resembling a preacher preaching piety from the pulpit, "action" will be the next conclusive step. Peel back the leftist Orwellian language with nice sounding words like "Obamacare" and "Net Neutrality" to expose it for what it really is; fascist policies and huge government takeover in a pretty wrapper.
The beginning of the end: Whatever the case, one should keep in mind that socialism, communism, fascism, and Nazism all are of the left; they were just different factions of the left. What is occurring in the U.S. today is not that different from what occurred in Europe some years ago. Though it may be much slower and softer, "American" Fascism echoes European Fascism and is rooted in this very ideology.
Keep this in mind when you are sitting in your cube at the Ministry of Truth, hunched over your keyboard, editing and bowdlerizing Wikipedia pages for "the party"; just remember this article and the quintessential fascist party ideology:
"(the) quest to create an all-caring, all-powerful, all-encompassing state, a state that assumes responsibility for every desirable outcome and takes the blame for every setback on the road to utopia, a state that finally replaces God" (Goldberg 20)
"But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."
Do not become the protagonist of 1984. Let's keep fiction for the books and reality for us here in America. The philosophical and political fate of the country depends on it.

If you do not fear government control in this one bastion of freedom, then China, Russia, or possibly even North Korea would better suit your philosophical values.

ebolismThere will be branded bongs and stores, too, as Willie gets out ahead of big industry in states where pot is legal.
Willie Nelson takes a hit of the cigarette-sized vaporizer in his gnarled hand, exhaling a small cloud, before placing it on the foldout table in front of us. We're seated in the cool enclave of his tour bus, at the entrance to his sprawling property just outside Austin, Texas, which he has dubbed the town of Luck. Up a hill and around a corner, people are rocking out at Willie's own Heartbreaker Banquet, an annual fundraiser/music festival held concurrently with SXSW.
Now 81, Willie is biding his time before joining the festivities, and we're talking about why he puts on the event every year. In the process, he lets slip that he has something else in the works: a new brand of weed, called, naturally, Willie's Reserve.
Brand's spokesperson reply to interviewer.
So what exactly is Willie's Reserve?
Well, you know, Willie has spent a lifetime in support of cannabis, both the industrial hemp side and the marijuana side. He wants it to be something that's reflective of his passion. Ultimately, it's his. But it was developed by his family, and their focus on environmental and social issues, and in particular this crazy war on drugs, and trying to be a bright light amongst this trail as we're trying to extract ourselves from the goo of prohibition.
Really he wants it, at the end of the day, to envelop what his personal morals and convictions are. So from the store itself to how they'll work with suppliers and how things are operated, it's going to be very reflective of Willie's life.
Wait, so there's going to be stores?
Well, yeah, they're in the making. I think it's safe to say that there will be stores that roll out in the states where marijuana has become legal.
So will there be signature strains that you grow under Willie's oversight? Or will you sell other people's strains?
It'll be both. There will be our own, and then there will be opportunities for other growers, who meet quality standards. Let's just call it the anti-Walmart model. Personally, internally, that's what we call it. A certain standard by which growers have to account for carbon and such, in a way that empowers small growers who are doing the right thing.
So you'll also be a distributor of sorts.
It will be like when you walk into a Whole Foods store. Whole Foods has their 365 brand, or you can buy Stony Brook, or you can buy Horizon... It'll all fall under that umbrella of "here's our core beliefs, and here's our mission statement," and they will be a part of that, to be a part of us.
How many stores are you looking at opening?
That's gonna depend... Right now, we'll focus on the states where legalization has occurred, and as new states open up, those opportunities will present themselves on a state-by-state basis. Or until the feds do something!
When do you plan to open the first one?
In the next calendar year that there will be movement. As you can imagine, it's not a problem in states like Colorado, Washington, Alaska... There's a pretty clear path on where retail can go.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=53a_1427395194ebolismWillie Nelson Is Launching His Own Brand of WeedWillie Nelson, Launching, New, Brand, Weed, cannabis, marijuana, legal,Live Leak included: Snowden NSA Docs &quot;Paid US Government Trolls On Social Media, Forums &amp; Websites&quot;Thu, 26 Mar 2015 02:44:26 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec5_1427349169
Omnipotent1Yes, There Are Paid Government Trolls On Social Media, Blogs, Forums, And Websites
American Dream - Michael Snyder
Do you wants solid proof that paid government shills are targeting websites, blogs, forums and social media accounts ?
For years, many have suspected that government trolls have been systematically causing havoc all over the Internet, but proving it has been difficult.
thanks to documents leaked by Edward Snowden and revealed by Glenn Greenwald, we finally have hard evidence that western governments have been doing this .
UK intelligence outfit known as the Government Communications Headquarters, through a previously secret unit known as the Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group, has been systematically attempting "to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse ".
This should be deeply disturbing to anyone that values free speech on the Internet.It isn't just that the British government is trying to influence what people are thinking.
The reality is that this is far bigger than a mere propaganda campaign.
As Greenwald recently noted on his new website, the "integrity of the Internet itself" is at stake:
By publishing these stories one by one, our NBC reporting highlighted some of the key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS attacks they accuse "hacktivists" of using, the use of "honey traps" (luring people into compromising situations using sex) and destructive viruses. But, here, I want to focus and elaborate on the overarching point revealed by all of these documents: namely, that t hese agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse , and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.
So what techniques are the British using to control and manipulate discourse on the Internet?
According to Greenwald, the documents that Snowden has uncovered show that they are willing to sink to despicable lows in order to get the results that they desire...
From NSA Powerpoint Presentation : "The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations."
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics:
See NSA Powerpoint Presentation Leaked By Edward Snowden - here
(1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and
(2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable . To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends:
- "false flag operations" (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else)
- fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and
posting "negative information" on various forums.
The following is a list of Internet infiltration techniques that were listed on one particular slide that Snowden leaked ...
-Infiltration Operation
-Ruse Operation
-Set Piece Operation
-False Flag Operation
-False Rescue Operation
-Disruption Operation
-Sting Operation
You can check out this slide for yourself right here.
There is also evidence that the Canadian government has been involved in this sort of thing as well. The following comes from Natural News...
You've probably run into them before seemingly random antagonizers . Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party political system, the "war on terror" and even alternative medicine are among the most common targets of such attackers known as internet "trolls" or "shills," who in many cases are nothing more than paid lackeys hired by the federal government and other international organizations to sway and ultimately control public opinion.
Canada's CTV News aired a short segment about how its own government had been exposed for hiring secret agents to monitor social media and track online conversations, as well as the activities of certain dissenting individuals. This report, which in obvious whitewashing language referred to such activities as the government simply "weighing in and correcting" allegedly false information posted online, basically admitted that the Canadian government had assumed the role of secret online police.
here .
Are you disturbed yet?
You should be.
So what kind of people are the governments of the western world targeting online?
Well, when it comes to the U.S. government, all you have to do is to look at their official documents to see who they consider the "problems" to be.

The Peace Gong Haryana Chapter was launched on Sunday 22nd March by Selflessly Yours team led by its founder Yashna Batra.The Peace Gong founded in 2012, is part of the Media and Information literacy initiative of Gurudev RabindranathTagore Foundation. It is a children's newspaper aimed at giving young people a platform to write and develop understanding of issues of social concern and to promote child participation for community building. Its mission is to develop communicative, semiotic and cultural skills along with critical thinking abilities amongst children from mixed backgrounds so that they can negotiate the increasing complexities of today's world and work towards a global non-violent future through the Peace Gong.
It presently has a print edition, a web edition, a Talking Paper and a Wallpaper.Peace Gong has been working with a number of UN as well as inter-ministerial organisations and has its teams from Manipur to Jammu and Kashmir; Kerala to Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal and even internationally in Nepal, Pakistan, Germany and Morocco. Selflessly Yours, is an all-inclusive initiative, founded by Yashna Batra of class 12, The Shri Ram School Aravali. The core team of Selflessly Yours comprising of all grade 12 students namely Yashna Batra, Anahat Kapur, Vimanyu Awal, Hardik Puri, Sana Kapur and Anoushka Kumar, by their little collective efforts, aim at bringing smile and hope to the underprivileged children and children with disabilities by engaging in diverse activities .
This initiative aims to support other NGOs concerned with children, in their efforts by bridging the void to facilitate fulfilment of their activities in the common field. The Launch meeting of the Haryana Peace Gong Chapter, facilitated by Selflessly Yours, with Peace Gong nominating Yashna as its representative for the state of Haryana, took place at a Tuition Centre for underprivileged children in Chakkarpur Village, Gurgaon. At the meeting Selflessly Yours released a documentary to bring about the contrast and comparison of happiness experienced by children from diverse backgrounds including visually impaired and differently abled children by conducting a reality check by interacting with around 45 children for the International Happiness Day on March 20th. Peace Gong representatives and Selflessly Yours had an interactive session with 30 marginal children, where they were oriented about the aims of Peace Gong and taught how to observe and tackle issues pertaining to their lifestyle and society. The students had an enthusiastic response towards joining the peace gong organisation and helping solve local issues.
Selflessly Yours also launched 'Buddy Bonding', at the event .It is a unique mentorship program for development of both mentors and the mentees. On one hand, it is designed for marginalised, deprived and underprivileged children (MDU Children) for evolving and nurturing their skills of articulate and eloquent communication and conversation. On the other hand it provides an opportunity to the high school students to embrace socially responsible humanitarian role. Under the program each MDU child will be assigned a mentor for a period of 3 months, who shall be a high school student prepared to bring about a significant change in the personality of one such child.
'Selflessly Yours started as a vision and now as it approaches reality, we are aiming at making this a large movement and reach out to as many people as we can. I plan on taking up this initiative at the Brown Leadership Institute, USA for which I got selected.' said Yashna
Through direct interaction, orientation and virtual medium,the Mentor Program seeks to accomplish the following. o Develop a mentor-mentee relationship.
Provide an open environment for the MDU children to share their thoughts, ideas and views. Enable the Mentors to gain insight into the societal and community issues relating to the children of the same age group and thereby assuming a role of catalyst for socio economic change. Enhance all participants written and oral communication skills.
Another team member Vimanyu said 'Where passion converges with an idea, true contentment is found. That is what Selflessly Yours is about. Helping others has always been a passion and Peace Gong has provided the perfect platform for us.'
Selflessly Yours originated as a result of a dream and a vision, Yashna sought to achieve. The idea of forming an action group to take up issues relating to child rights goes back few years when she was exposed to the instances of violence suffered by underprivileged boys and girls, while she was volunteering at Asha Grih, a home for runaway street children in New Delhi. On hearing stories of real life horrendous tragedies and conditions of those children which were filled with sexual, mental and emotional violence, she decided to venture out of her comfort zone and launch an initiative to undertake corrective and remedial efforts.'The truth is that the amount I have learned from these children is far more than I could've ever imagined. By being a part of Selflessly Yours, I have grown on an emotional and a mental level.' said Anahat.
In a short span of its formation Selflessly Yours has had a fund raiser and has been closely working with many NGOs. It has plans to initiate literacy workshop of children in Dhanachuli village, Kummon hills and has also started a book collection drive for mobile library to cater
to the needs of children of Dhanachuli and adjoining villages.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=45c_1427335765News15Selflessly Yours and the Peace Gong Join Hands For A Unique Cause, Children Initiative in Haryanaselflessly yours, peace gong, haryana, yashna batra, vimanyu, anahat, shri ram schoolDid 9/11 F*ck Up Ted Cruz Enough To Enjoy Country Music?Wed, 25 Mar 2015 19:25:27 -0400http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fa0_1427325623

Pook went on to say all kids deserve an "equal opportunity to learn how to read" and the same advantages he had.
Pook's role is documented at the pro-Common Core website, AchieveTheCore.com , which confirms that he "worked closely with Susan Pimentel and the Council of Chief State Officers in drafting the Core Standards for English Language Arts, and currently has several projects underway with Student Achievement Partners on work aligned with the CCSS."
Ironically, as Campus Reform notes , the Derryfield School where Pook works does not use the Common Core State Standards and has a student body that is 91 percent white. It is also ironic since the "standards" have been especially hard on Black and Hispanic students, who have seen their test scores plummet since the introduction of Common Core.
But perhaps that is all worth it to Pook, to achieve Common Core's distortion of American history to portray Whites as evil and privileged, and minorities as victimized by them. If your objective is not education, but indoctrination, Common Core fits the bill.
Michelle Malkin , Glenn Beck and many others have written extensively about the abject disaster that is Common Core, and as Americans have been exposed to examples of its instruction, and motivations of its backers, they have increasingly rejected it." campaignid="31" apd-id="apdel993851" apd-shown="1" appendedad="true" style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: 300; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">he delved into his ties to Common Core.
